The Victoria Wreck.

LONDON, April H.-Further partlcu-
lars of the loss near Dieppe of the New
Haven and Dieppe packet Victoria,
show that the vessel struck rocks amid
ships. The passengers Immediately
rushed to the stern, which, through the
downward lift of the bow was buoyed
up by deep water on that side OF the
rocks. A terrible scene ensued then !,
while endeavors were being made to
float the lifeboats, which were seriously
interfered with by the strong swell OF
the sea. At last, when boat was
ready to be lowered and ,6ftesn men
and women embarked in it, lady g
shawl became entangled in pulley of
the stern davit and caused the boat to
descend to the sea bow foremost. Most
of the occupants were thrown out and
drowned. Two ladies jumped from the
deck of the steamer into the boat and
reached the water, and overturned it,
Other boats were then safely launched
and succeeded in reaching Fecamp,
rescuing on the way with boat hooks,
two persons who had been swept out to
sea.
